    Get the patches directory from the ftp server and put it into the
    source tree as "patches". Install quilt.

    Then select a middle patch from the series file. I would start it
    on the boundaries of the various groups Andrew comments first.

    Then

    quilt push middle-patch
    compile/test
    if works select new middle in partition below, otherwise above.
    repeat until you narrow it down to a single patch.
    If the partition is below you have to use quilt pop ... instead of quilt push

    Sometimes patches don't compile on their own, but in this case
    treating them as groups is ok.

    Also when you hit the last patch double check it really changes
    the problem by retesting with it applied again.
